dreaming of.. being in a forest with all my girlfriends and my girlfriend naked, with our hair in the wind, eating raspberries, taking shrooms, bush out and free bleeding. this is what really matters to me. girls, they are meant to be lesbian fairies , together and forever💭

and honestly it's pretty funny how I constantly get diminished with "you only care this much about pornography because you were abused" like that's not a very reasonable reason that gave me direct experience and the ability to recognise it happening a lot

men don’t get to define you. Kill the man in your head burn him with fire

I’ve said this on other platforms but there is truly nothing more terrifying than thirst trap parasocial freak men. “Oh you crave basic love and affection? Must be daddy issues. Which means that you must also love sexual abuse!”

I have an unimaginable amount of fear in my heart for the little girls being lured into this. If I was groomed into idealizing abuse at age 12 by PINTEREST I can only recoil at the thought of how easy it has to be now. I see it constantly on twitter and tiktok and instagram, and that’s after years of reporting and “I’m not interested”-ing each and every one that I come across. Wanting to be held while you cry does not mean you have some sort of broken relationship with your father that can only be “made up for” by letting another man abuse you. The fact that so many men have preyed on girls’ childhood traumas and unfulfilled fundamental needs to convince them of this ridiculous idea is SO beyond disgusting.

The narrative that every time you touch or move your face will “prematurely” age your skin is so uniquely evil. It’s said as if rubbing your tired eyes is something unnatural; as if having the expressive range of a corpse throughout your entire life is the norm. Your face is meant to move. It’s meant to go outside and cry and grin and be smushed into your cat’s belly when you hug her. Wrinkles are not a sign that you’ve done something wrong—they’re a sign that you’ve lived just as you were meant to.

TW: murder, femicide, SA, serial killers

Watching true crime documentaries again after a long while has opened my eyes even more.

The level of violence and brutality these men fantasize about and commit is almost unimaginable, and the fact that women usually suffer the worst comes on top of that.

I heard the sentence "he killed the man/boyfriend/husband immediately and then kidnapped, tortured and raped the woman before killing her eventually, too" countless times.

And it‘s usually also "he learned from other men to see women as objects and non-humans which then led to the escalation of his behavior" — being "taught" these things can definitely influence you, however, if these boys/men weren’t already completely deranged & evil deep inside, the words and actions of the men around them would disgust them and make them hate men, not women — but their misogyny is already there and only needs to be fed further.

Just yesterday I watched the case of Richard Ramirez [1] [2] and I don’t think painting him as a victim of "bad influence" is fair. You can‘t convince me that a boy and later man who gets primarily abused by his father and then looks up to a man who brags about torturing and raping women during the Vietnam war, and then kills his own wife in front of you, is NOT inherently evil, and misogynistic, and inhumane.

It‘s tiring to see people make excuses for these monsters, and it‘s almost always the same pattern.

They aren’t victims. They know what they do, and they enjoy it.

I don’t like makeup. I’m against makeup. I don’t think it’s good for women and I don’t think they really need to be using it honestly. Makeup is capitalising on women’s insecurities when it’s something that they can easily fix. I think it takes away from a woman’s natural beauty, and also it is so bad for you. Like, you think about how skin absorbs things. When you read the ingredients on a foundation bottle, what is in it? You can’t even pronounce it. It’s a bunch of crap that you’re putting on your face. And that is in turn making your skin worse, so that you have to keep buying more foundation.

The original audio clip is from a podcast (radio show?) where the other women on the show are visibly rolling their eyes. It's gone viral with everyone calling the woman criticizing makeup a "pickme girl" and naturally, those comments are all over this video too. Like feminist critique makes you a pickme girl but doing your makeup over the sound of said critique to show that you're way too cool to care about such things doesn't qualify.

Every time makeup discourse pops up I see girls repeating the “I use it as an art form!” line, using more creative makeup looks as their example,, & that’s partially true, but a big aspect to those looks is still (in every picture I’ve seen), their remaining ties to conformity. There’s a reason the glitter was placed on the cheekbones & not down the sides of the nose; that the colorful eyeliner always shapes the eyes in a way that “flatters” them.

There are very harsh limits to acceptable creativity in women’s appearances. It makes little difference whether you highlight the tip of your nose with chunky glitter or a more conventional option—the result is the same: a small, button-nosed effect. Nonconformity is only appealing when used as a tool to paint a picture of rigid traditional beauty.

We focus so much on the freeing feeling of self-expression that we become numb to the parts of our makeup routine that come as second nature. Being able to explore creativity in a way that drastically decreases the amount of criticism we’ll receive is of course, an offer that’s hard to turn down. I wish I could know what artistic makeup would look like without the presence of misogynistic social pressure.

Makeup feels so disgusting. This is how I know women don't wear it for themselves lmao. You know what you do for yourself? What is TRULY self love? Choosing comfort. Wearing comfy clothes, letting your skin breathe, never engaging in painful acts like ripping out/off your hair, saying "hey my nose is the nose my grandmother had!" and appreciating your family's culture/history in your body features, etc. That's empowering: Not having to wear makeup, bras, tight clothes, heels, or shave/wax/pluck body hair. If you're ashamed of yourself in its natural form, how is there any power in that? You let the patriarchy win.
